IGP Benchmarks
Since I'm sure a few of you may be considering this motherboard as an overall replacement to your current mobo and video card, I've included some benchmarks so you can get an idea of the performance with the nVidia IGP. All video tests will be with the IGP configured at 128MB, and at the highest image quality available in the game options. The exception is 3D Mark 2001SE, which will be run at default.
3D Mark 2001SE, Default Settings, No AA
Quake 3 Arena
Jedi Knight II
Nothing too notable, and performance differences between the resolution is expected. At 1024x768, with no AntiAliasing, framerates are very playable, though at 1600x1200, things will get choppy.
Unreal Tournament 2003
Up until now, we've been using a 128MB buffer for the IGP, so I wanted to do a small comparison when using a 32MB buffer. This will free up more ram for your system, but will it affect the benchmarks?
The difference isn't large with the Antalus benchmark, but with the more memory intensive Inferno benchmark, we can see that the extra 96MB of ram makes a more noticable difference.
